I will repost my comment from another immature post I read. Your entitled to your opinion but I must strongly disagree with this bias article. Did Facebook kill Myspace in a few months? No.... Did Facebook eventually kill Myspace because of its features in a few years? Yes... The point is eventually people will realize there personal data is auctioned off to the highest bidder (at least Google just gives anonymous statistics not your mother maiden name), that the system is comparable to Nazi Germany where your account is subject to Facebook's whims, and that you are essentially trapped in its system (Cant delete your account unless Facebook decides to allow you. I'm sorry I live in a democratic country where Facebook supposedly resides and you wont let me leave or transfer my data to another social network!) Facebook has been instrumental in social connections, political activism etc. but in recent years they have lost their focus from their users to corporations.
I'm not saying Google is perfect but they are defiantly cutting edge in web technology let alone mobile technology. Google has always allowed you to leave any of their services, no questions asked because they believe if your not happy or found a better service who are they to stand in their way (which rarely happens). Google plus will eventually take over with their superb integration with all there services and its only a matter of time before "my friends" realize how much better Google Plus can be. If Facebook allowed you to export like Google does I believe Facebook would die while Google Plus flourishes.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ea15e7d69bedded7e00001fLouisFri, 21 Oct 2011 07:58:53 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ea15e7d69bedded7e00001f
this is interesting, remains to be seen what will happen nexthttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e9d55ba69bedd0e0200000fEmilyLucidicaTue, 18 Oct 2011 06:32:26 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e9d55ba69bedd0e0200000f
I do personally believe that Facebook is better than Googe+ - but Google+ does have some strengths over Facebook. There is better privacy - with notifications with posts and tagging etc. The photo sharing service is also more fun.
I do feel that some of what they offer is better quality - but I don't feel it will eve rbe a real competitor of Facebook really. Everyone is comfortable with and sees no real reason to change. It has everything everybody needs and has been popular for a number of years now. If Google+ was to come out 3 or so years ago, it may have stood a chance, but I don't think it does now. We wrote an article on Google+ not so long ago, and stats even say that their managers aren't even using it! <a href="http://www.lucidica.com/blog/cto/management-of-google-dont-seem-to-love-google/" target="_blank">http://www.lucidica.com/blog/cto/management-of-google-dont-seem-to-love-google/</a>http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e8a8cefeab8ea696b00002aKishi23Tue, 04 Oct 2011 00:34:55 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e8a8cefeab8ea696b00002a
ONE BIG Reason why Google+ will eventually phase out Facebook:
Their obvious desperation in getting people to plug them in blatant PR articles like this one.
It's funny I remember around the same time when Facebook was phasing out MySpace. MySpace went on a similar desperate PR campaign too. Even got ABC News and Barbara Walters to make her own MySpace page. Sadly Baba wasn't enough to save the sinking ship.
These are weird, fickle and frivolous times. I really want to know how history is going to remember this generation in 50 years.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e832ced69bedd2224000028MariusWed, 28 Sep 2011 10:19:25 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e832ced69bedd2224000028
This is the reason why peoples who are below 18 cannot join G+. They would just publish bullshit.. Please change the diaper for the person who wrote this article..http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e832ce4ecad04b720000037kchWed, 28 Sep 2011 10:19:16 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e832ce4ecad04b720000037
Flimsy. I'm sure that headlines like this get people to click on your site, but they won't look any further if this is the best that you can do. Every one of the reasons mentioned was completely arguable, and the positions stated were not supported. They appeared to be based entirely on opinion. So the premise of the article itself is highly questionable, if it's just one guy's opinion. A guy who obviously prefers Facebook.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e826ad5ecad04365400000cJames LucasTue, 27 Sep 2011 20:31:17 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e826ad5ecad04365400000c
I use both Facebook and Google +. Goolge + has solved some problems that have been limiting for me on Facebook. My Facebook news feed is a constant stream of chatter, often between a friend and someone I don't know, most of which I don't get much value from. Facebook's recent additon of smart lists may prove useful in that regard, time will tell, it won't work well for me if people can see who I have in different lists though (I can see it now, "why am I not on your "good friends" list?) I am encouraged by some of Facebook's recently announced changes. Right now the quality of my Google + stream compared to my Facebook stream is like night and day. Much of that has to do with the ability to engage with people who share common interests, but who I don't otherwise know on Google + vs old high school buddies. Google + has some similarity to Twitter in that regard, only the two way communication is much richer.
Facebook may be a different experience for people who have a lot of interesting, dynamic and engaging real world friends than for those of us who grind out a nine to five, spend most of our free time with family and a few close friends, but long to connect with people who share a common interest, Google + may have an edge for the latter.
Ellis, there are some major philisophical differences between the two services that you didn't explore. Your article was clearly slanted, maybe you shouldn't pick the headline before you start writing. You didn't spend enough time thinking about what those differences really mean. I think it's way too early to call a winner here, but who knows you may get lucky.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e823f766bb3f7c66e000019tbonokioTue, 27 Sep 2011 17:26:14 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e823f766bb3f7c66e000019

After reading a couple of these "reasons" I had to check the URL and the name of the writer. I thought I had stumbled into an MG Siegler article on Techcrunch for all the fb worship.
I guess this could be a pen namehttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e81f23f6bb3f7ee5c000034AngelaTue, 27 Sep 2011 11:56:47 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e81f23f6bb3f7ee5c000034
This was probably the worst article I've ever read. I was only interested in it because you used my friend Bailey's face. You did my friend Bailey a disgrace! This article is SO BIASED! There's blatant hypocrisy everywhere. When trying to make your point, you should try not to contradict yourself every other sentence?
You said Google's stream was worse, when in actuality, it's PERFECT! We don't want an algorithm. We want a simple, timeline of posts from our friends. Why that is so hard for facebook to figure out I'll never understand.
Lists are a catastrophe. Circles, are awesome. You can even share your circles now with other people! I've gained some great people to follow in the past week. Your stream won't be flooded if you aren't circling useless people that overpost, or if you catagorize your circles to how you want.
With the new facebook features, G+ Users have gone up 30 million. I am not a G+ fanboy, I use both. Facebooks attempts to copy G+ are annoying at best. The news feed ticker makes me want to vomit. Everyone sees whatever I post? I hid that feature long ago, and now I don't have that option.
When Spotify announced that you'd now need a facebook to sign in to it's website, it put the last nail in the coffin. Really, Spotify, are you that near-sighted?
Plus, the black background on G+'s photos is way better than facebooks.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e81d4bfeab8ead606000041Johnny B.Tue, 27 Sep 2011 09:50:55 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e81d4bfeab8ead606000041
Wow, this writer isn't a bit bias is he? For me, a more interesting article might have been what is FB doing right, and what is G+ doing right.
For me, FB has sort become the "Let's try to throw every single idea and function into our site whether the people really want it or not.", whereas G+ seems to have taken a more simple approach at this point in time. Also, Google in general has more business features to it like gnail, and google docs, to name a few.
To me, Fb is only now trying to incorporate some of these features into their site, which was originally designed more towards gathering as many people as it could. But now, they appear to be angering people with their drastic changes to try and shift their dynamic towards more business features. This is where G+ already has FB beat.
Sure, FB may have beat G+ by having their social network first, but it appears that G+ has been gaining fans by leaps and bounds at the moment, but G+ already has beat FB with other established features.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e81cbbfeab8ea4e06000016RIP AmericaTue, 27 Sep 2011 09:12:31 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e81cbbfeab8ea4e06000016

"If your friends are not in G+. Get new friends"

The fact that you are comparing both is a big win for Google+, which *just* launched to the public. There's more to come.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e819153eab8eafd20000003AzamTue, 27 Sep 2011 05:03:15 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e819153eab8eafd20000003

Sorry, seeing this article, I believe the Author and EVERYONE else is using different versions of Facebook.
Because smart lists are of no use, chat is most of the time down for maintenance, Timeline is just OKAY and oops sorry I forgot what else garbage you wrote in this!http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e816ce6eab8eae040000049jajajajajajajajajajajajaTue, 27 Sep 2011 02:27:50 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e816ce6eab8eae040000049
This article is clearly an exercise in preference. Can't you be objective about this? Everyone with a brain knows the the best situation would have been for Facebook and Google to work together to better integrate their services, while remaining separate entities. Unfortunately, people like this sorry excuse of a journalist are content to choose a side, based on narrow minded bandwagonism. One is not better than the other. They both suck, because they're trying to ignore the qualities of what is around them.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e8164b4eab8ea833800003earTue, 27 Sep 2011 01:52:52 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e8164b4eab8ea833800003e
Im just wondering when FB will come clean about how its been nothing but a clone of other sites since its inception lmao. really like come on where did they find this kid? Has anyone heard of memolane? You think this timeline is Fb idea if you want to, tell Mark com original then FB will stand out. I was an original FB user since FB was a URL and notice the word WAS. G+ is how FB used to be clean, cut, and simple. Not a cluster f*&k of unneeded bs. FB may look like its "winning" but when it boils down to it google will forever have FB beat. Too many developers, too many apps, too many programmers, too many people seeking actual conversation not meaningless banter. And lets not forget the many features G+ has yet to even make live yet and the many sites associated with google that come along well before FB even had a server to run off of. Nice try to get a FB endorsement but please know what your talking about and know how to make accurate accounts before you write and article.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e8163a4ecad04f86700003aedmundrojasTue, 27 Sep 2011 01:48:20 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e8163a4ecad04f86700003a

Henry - Fanboy is correct. Now that you have raised some money - get some great journalist in. Otherwise just keep re purposing other content as you are doing now. But by no means, have these guys on here voicing their opinions. ( although Ellis is a step up from Pascal - that guy is just plain stupid ).http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e80f52369bedd2c5500002aSnugglesMon, 26 Sep 2011 17:56:51 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e80f52369bedd2c5500002a
Ease up critics. Haters are just the typical Google brigade that comes out when anyone writes anything -- dares to write anything -- negative about Google+. That's what's tired...
Ellis, your article was great, notice that these trolls don't come out when you're not discussing Google+. Really people...http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e80f4716bb3f7cf1800001aajbaranMon, 26 Sep 2011 17:53:53 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e80f4716bb3f7cf1800001a

This is seriously going to be the downfall of this site, Henry. You keep hiring these young, inexperience kids right out of college who can't analyze for shit. There is no way your writers can compete with the WSJ, FT, Dealbook, or any other business website. Yes, I clicked through the slideshow. But I gained nothing out of it. Toughen up your writers. Make them take some critical thinking classes. Send them to Wall Street and learn from some real analysts. This is just junk.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e80e827ecad040b17000022Patricio FoieriMon, 26 Sep 2011 17:01:27 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e80e827ecad040b17000022

I love it when a kid 1 year out of college pretends he knows how business works and then pontificates on the future of things that are unknowable. Awesome journalism.
